Thanks for the comment. He's actuallly written 5 books, two as the co-author with clive cussler. I'll update to add those as well.

A cup of coffee for you!

Thanks for your interest in Kirkus Reviews. I reverted you because you broke some text, cited a WP:SPS, and made some references unclear. I would talk this through with you. Right now I am more concerned about technical problems and basic rules than any editorial difference. If you have trouble making things the way you want, ask me for support and maybe I can do more. Blue Rasberry (talk) 20:16, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for clarifying. There was some sales pitchy content earlier that I removed and it looked like you were trying to bring it back in.

The reference you have is both a personal opinion blog, and included out of date pricing information. I'll just rewrite that section from scratch this weekend and let you know when its done.

BookReviewer (talk) 20:50, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, it was not my intention to keep bad content and I do not have any particular opinion about what is there now. In looking a bit there are a lot of WP:SPS cited. Give it a go developing it. If I were to touch it, I would (1) remove all citations to kirkusreviews.com then (2) delete all sentences not backed with a citation. Blue Rasberry (talk) 13:31, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

Ok, basically rewrote that one paragraph with no citation, but all clear. Removed another sentence that included several pitchy links for services they sell. Also I wanted to include a link to another section of wikipedia (not the root article, but a section of one) and not sure how to do it - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanity_award#Fee_for_review. I'm also thinking there are enough fee-for-review programs and controversy to make that its own page. Suggestion for how to link to that section of the page?

Speedy deletion nomination of Tulsa Book Review

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Tulsa Book Review requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Hello, BookReviewer. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Graham Brown".

Proposed deletion of San Francisco Book Review

The article San Francisco Book Review has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Dearth of independent, secondary source coverage about the publication itself. Mostly finding press releases.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.
